I took a break from the beholders and made an otyugh, a D&D monster than looks something like a pile of garbage with an irregular jagged slash for a mouth and spiked tentacles. This one came out too cute for my taste. I think it's the legs. It looks like a slightly toothier version of one of those Mr. Men characters.
And this is another menorah, although the old lady in the synagogue gift shop said that Orthodox Jews can't use menorahs if the candles (except for the shammus) aren't all on the same level. I, apparently, was the (half-) Jew who didn't deserve to led out of Egypt.

Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny,
ceramic artist and potter in Tucson, Arizona.
I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, sculpture, hamsas, ornaments, masks, and a variety of other forms.
I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.
I am in love with my medium. I love the process of frantically birthing clay monstrosities, subjecting them to an epic trial by fire, and sending them out into the world.
